Day 124: Seeing Who You’ve Become

Today I’m turning 70.

And it feels like I’m crossing a threshold into a new decade, a new phase of my life.

A different kind of beginning.

One where I’m reclaiming my power in a deeper way.

And feeling a natural pull to share what I’ve come to understand through all of these years.

Not from a place of having it all figured out.

But from having lived enough to see things more clearly.

And every year around this time, I find myself reflecting.

Not in a big, dramatic way.

Just quietly noticing, acknowledging.

Who I am now.
How I got here.
What no longer fits.

There was a time when I measured life more by what I had done.

What I had accomplished.
What I had built.

And in some ways, that still matters.

But it’s not what stands out to me anymore.

What I notice now is who I became through it all.

The versions of me that I had to let go.

The ones that held everything together.

The ones that didn’t know what to do next, but kept moving anyway.

And the ones that finally stopped.

Stopped pushing.
Stopped performing.
Stopped trying to be who I thought I needed to be.

There have been so many phases.

Some I moved through quickly.

Some I stayed in longer than I expected.

And some I didn’t even realize I was in until I was already on the other side.

That’s the part that feels different now.

I can see the phases.

I can feel when something is ending.

And when something new is beginning, even if it’s not fully clear yet.

It doesn’t always feel easy.

There are still moments where I wish things were more certain.

More defined.

But I don’t question it the same way anymore.

There’s a steadiness that comes from having lived through enough of it.

A knowing that even when things feel unclear, they are still moving.

Still organizing.

Still becoming something.

And I wait with anticipation, like I waited as a kid waiting for Christmas, to see what will be revealed.


This is the part of life that doesn’t get talked about much.

The space where you’re no longer who you were, but you’re not fully who you’re becoming yet.

And instead of trying to rush through it, or figure it all out, you start to let yourself be there.

To recognize it for what it is.

A phase, a threshold.

A place where something deeper is taking shape.

And when I look at my life from here, that’s what I feel most.


Not what I’ve done, although I’ve have a lot of great experiences.



Not what I’ve created, although I’m sometimes still in awe of the programs that have flowed through me into existence and how many people they have helped, including me.


But, most importantly, who I’ve become.

And who I’m still becoming.



Through all the ups and downs, the places where I could have completely collapsed and just given up, I always got back up and kept moving.



And I’m still here, starting another new chapter.

Today’s Gentle Practice

Take a few minutes today and reflect on who you are right now.

Not who you’ve been.
Not who you think you should be.

Just who you are today.

Take a breath and ask yourself:
“What feels true about me right now?”

Let the answer be simple.

You don’t need to define everything.

Just notice what feels steady.

If this resonates, you can reply and share one thing you see clearly about yourself right now. I read every message.

With you,

Lynn
